Question

Name the artists who were part of the Progressive Artist's Group 1946?

A. Francis Newton Souza
B. K. H. Ara
C. S. A. Bakre
D. Tyeb Mehta

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, B and C only
• B. B and C only
• C. A, B and D only
• D. B, C and D only

Hint:

Tyeb Mehta was not one of the 1946 founders. Souza, Ara and Bakre were.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the question:
We need the members of the 1946 Bombay group among four named artists.

Step 2: Find the non-member:
Tyeb Mehta belongs to the next generation of Bombay painters and was not a founder in 1946. So D is out.

Step 3: Use the options:
Options 3 and 4 contain D, so they fail. Option 2 has only B and C and leaves out Souza, the group's founder, so it fails too.

Step 4: Confirm the last option:
Option 1 lists Souza, Ara and Bakre, all of whom were founding members.

Final Answer:
Only option 1 has the right set, A, B and C. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]
